changes to the way General Skilled Migration applications will be allocated
and processed. Details can be found on the DIAC website at:

As a result of this announcement from 1 January 2009 applications for
General Skilled Migration will be strictly allocated and processed in the
following priority order:
1. Applications with a successful State & Territory Nomination

This affects all applications lodged before and after 1 January 2009, both
paper lodged or electronically lodged. Applications which were already
allocated to case officers before 1 January 2009 are un-affected and will
